3 I wrote 9 drafts of the screenplay I turned into the studio, along with at least 4 drafts of the treatment. But I wrote dozens of drafts for myself in-between those, trying to make the script the best I could.

6 I took a lot of notes on what would happen in Vol. 2 before ever starting Vol. 1. I actually started writing the treatment/story on the day the first film came out (Aug 1 2014) and the script was pretty much finished in October of 2015 a couple months before shooting.

7 The studio suggested no changes to make it more amendable to Avengers 3 or 4. I did, however, give Markus & McFeely and the Russo Brothers the script in October 2015 so they knew where the Guardians ended up while they were writing.

9 The extended post credits scene with Adolescent Groot and Quill was cut because it is funnier to read than it was to watch. It just happens that way sometimes, who knows why. I thought it was funny on set.

10 All of the post-credits scenes were included all the way back in the treatment - I didn't discuss therm with Marvel beforehand, but they liked them. EXCEPT the Stakar/Ravagers scene, which I wrote after we had completed primary filming.

11 I awoke with a vision of the Stakar Ravagers scene in my head and couldn't stop thinking about it for days. We almost didn't include the Adam Warlock scene because he was definitely not in Avengers 3 or 4 and we had no plans for him in general.

12 And despite so many people thinking Adam will show up in Vol 3 that is something that we have never confirmed. Who knows how long it will take him to bake in that cocoon. That said, I love Adam. But the time must be right.
